Decision details
Short Debate
Decision Maker: Plenary - Fourth Assembly
Status: Recommendations approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Purpose:
Short debates differ from
other debates as they allow any Member, other than a member of the government,
to have a general debate on a topic of interest or constituency matter, without
requiring the Assembly to vote at the end of the debate (as there is no
associated motion). Members are selected
from a ballot held by the Presiding Officer and permitted to bring forward a
topic of their choice. The Member will
open the debate and speak for their allocated time. The Minister or Assembly
Commissioner responsible for the topic being discussed usually responds to the
short debate.

Improving Dementia Care– developing seamless services
The increasing incidence of dementia requires a critical re-think of services as well as attitudes. Earlier diagnosis and assessment can keep people out of hospital and enables them to shape arrangements for their long term care. People need services which are multi-disciplinary, flexible and cost effective to support them as their needs change.
